This great recipe comes to us from Meatless Monday!

Ingredients

  • 1 c uncooked red quinoa
  • pinch salt
  • 1 15 ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 peaches, peeled and diced (or canned, drained)
  • 4 scallions, minced
  • 1/3 c minced fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1/2 c almond yogurt (plus more if needed)
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 c slivered almonds

Rinse the quinoa and add to a pot with 2 cups of water and salt. Bring just to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.

Step 3

When cool, add the beans, peaches, scallions, and cilantro and toss gently.

Step 4

In a small bowl combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, curry powder, and blend with a whisk until smooth.
